About this product
Product Information
You can acquire rapid processing and multitasking abilities with the Intel Core i5-2500K Quad-Core (BX80623I52500K) Processor. Developed by Intel Corporation and released in the first quarter of 2011, it’s part of the Sandy Bridge line of CPUs. The 32 nm microarchitecture of this CPU can possess multifunctional capabilities proven by benchmarks. It can boast impressive specifications that include integrated graphics. It can enable users to power video for great display on high definition monitors and meet the demands of resource intensive applications. Those seeking to equip their desktop systems with a processor capable of overclocking may look no further. The Intel Core i5-2500K can be optimal as an upgrade or starting point for gaming and professional computers.The high performance of this line of processors can be made possible by advanced hardware and software designed by Intel. The four cores run at a substantial clock speed of 3.30 GHz. With Turbo Boost 2.0 enabled, users can overclock the unit via the BIOS. The core unit can be overclocked to a max frequency of 3.70 GHz. A 6 MB cache can dynamically allocate memory to each core as well. This can offer users the capability of rapidly retrieving and processing data without unnecessary delays. The core operates in tandem with a fast front-side bus (FSB) speed of 5 GT/s DMI. This can also help to facilitate quick and seamless communication between motherboard components. The CPU is designed for installation in Intel compatible motherboards with an LGA1155 socket. Within this socket, they’re rated for a maximum temperature of 72.6 degrees Celsius. Even with its high GHz level, the CPU has an efficient thermal design power (TDP) designation of 95 W. Intel Thermal Monitoring Technologies are equipped in the 2500K for protection from high temperatures. Users can rest assured that system degradation from overheating will be kept in check. Furthermore, the CPU’s Enhanced SpeedStep Technology allocates power on an as needed basis. This can help prevent excessive energy consumption by the core.The 2500K supports up to 32GB of DDR3 1066/1333 memory. This can allow users to complement the functions and performance of the unit with a substantial amount of RAM. As such, gaming experiences and demanding programs can operate free of annoying stuttering or processing delays. The Intel Core i5-2500K also includes Intel HD Graphics 3000. This integrated GPU operates at a graphics base frequency of 850 MHz and can reach a maximum of 1.10 GHz. It can be capable of supporting two displays in a workstation or gaming setup. Acting in the same capacity of a video card, it can provide video decoding and conversion for the display of high definition material. It can also be capable of processing 3D and Blu-ray entertainment via an HDMI connection.These processors can also please the security minded, as several proven Intel technologies exist to protect the integrity of the system. Intel AES New Instructions can serve to grant users the power to handle cryptographic functions and methodologies. This means that encryption protocols can be implemented with ease to safeguard the security of data and prevent unauthorized access. In addition, Trusted Execution Technology is present to allow applications to run in a sandbox type of an environment, isolating programs from harmful intrusions. Threats like viruses and malware can be countered as well by Execute Disable Bit. This service can assist in denying malicious programs the ability to spread on systems, protecting users from unwanted interruptions to productivity.Product Identifiers

Great processor chip!
This chip is great for overclocking and just works wonderful with my computer setup. It is fast, and just one-step down from the I7 processor chips. I chose this as an affordable alternative for my I7 processor that I fried a couple of years ago but never replaced until recently. These are somewhat easy to install, but don't put them in the wrong way or you could bend your socket pins on your motherboard. The notches on this processor have a purpose, so be careful and align them properly with the socket. Overall, for this type of processor, the speed is fast, though the technology has already been replaced with a newer line of processors through Intel. As I said, I bought this for my older PC setup and it works great!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Amazing little beast
Awesome performance, very fast, Quad core, Good Base clock and Boost clock. I highly recommend this CPU. Even though it came out a few years ago, and is built on an older architecture. But it doesn't pull alot of power idle, and under load. And stays relatively low in temperature. 40C idle, 55-62C under load. Though I also hear some weird noises coming from it. Like an old fax machine. But other than that, no complaints. Amazing Price to performance, highly recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great upgrade for H2 (LGA 1155) mainboards
I replaced the CPU on the sound system computer tied by firewire to a 32 channel digital mixer. The original ASUS H2 socket mainboard had a pentium G640 CPU in it, which was slightly slower and half the cost of an I3 at the time it was new. This processor, a major step up from the pentium, and significantly faster than the I5-2400 brought my main panel load time from 10 seconds to less than 2. It also handles all 32 tracks of record or playback with ease. (at CD quality, like it'll fill a terabyte drive up in 4 hours.) Install is easy and straight forward. Be sure to follow the instructions in the mainboard manual, and use ESD precautions. Cleanliness isn't optional, it's critical. That's 1155 connections in the area of a postage stamp.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Works fine!
Have not actually run the computer this processor is currently in for more than a few minutes because I did not have a compatible heatsink when assembling it, but I have run it long enough to know that it does what it needs to do short-term. Came in nearly perfect condition with no visible damage, wrapped in anti-static packaging. 0 complaints so far. Update 11/26/18 part working perfectly still, 0 issues so upped to 5 stars. Thanks!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Old reliable
2nd generation Core i5. There is a reason Intel is having a hard time convincing owners of the Core i5 2500k and core i7 2600k to upgrade to the latest of their tech. These can still hold their own, especially when overclocked! The motherboards these operate in lack modern features, but otherwise, the performance of Sandy Bridge is still very decent. 4 cores, 4 threads, and coupled with a modern GPU like a GTX 1050 Ti, you have a very cost effective console smasher.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Extremely overclockable
This processor truly is amongst the most overclockable ever made. Some of this with sufficient cooling can reach 5.1ghz and remain stable. Unfortunately that one recent severe bug they found also affects this one, however if you have a standalone machine not connected to the internet directly or sandboxed or just plain properly protected then it is great for anything CPU-limited (such as fallout-4, this processor ROCKS for that.)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great procesor for Sandy- and Ivy-Bridge computers
The K-suffix means overclockable, but overclock at your peril! The K-suffux also means has on-chip HD 3000 graphics, which is fully supportable by MacOS X, for use as a Hackintosh, and which works well once the proper boot options are specified to enable HD 3000 graphics. The processor is fast and has four cores and eight threads, and works particularly well with applications which can support hyper-threaded processors.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great budget motherboard with minor stability issues
Motherboard will fail to post sometimes and have to restart but will eventually get into windows. The processor overclocked but required a high voltage to remain stable. Performance is still excellent.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
